Cardigan SIX

**Lightweight Cardigan Knitting Pattern: Seamless Top-Down Design** Discover the perfect addition to your wardrobe with our **Lightweight Cardigan knitting pattern**! This stylish cardigan is designed to be knitted seamlessly in the round from the top down, making it an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels. The **circular yoke** is worked first, extending smoothly to the underarm. After that, the body and sleeves are separated, allowing you to finish the body before delving into the intriguing sleeve construction, which is also knitted in the round. To complete this chic piece, the button band and neckband are added last for a polished finish. **Sizes Available:** This versatile pattern comes in the following sizes: **Small (S), Medium (M), Large (L), Extra-Large (XL), and 2X-Large (2XL)**. It is designed to be worn with little to no ease, allowing for a flattering fit. Thanks to its innovative top-down design, larger sizes are entirely achievable, making this cardigan a fantastic choice for a range of body types. **Yarn Requirements:** For this Lightweight Cardigan, we recommend using **DROPS Flora**, a lovely 4-ply yarn available in the stunning shades of **04, Dark Grey & Cream**. You will need approximately **900 meters (1000, 1150, 1250, 1400 meters)** of yarn, depending on the size you choose, ensuring that you have enough material to create this beautiful garment. **Needles Needed:** Prepare your tools! You’ll need **3mm long circular needles** for the body, **2.5mm long circular needles** for the hemline, **3mm short circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPNs)** for the sleeves, and **2.5mm short circular needles** for the neckline. Having the right tools will make your knitting experience smooth and enjoyable. **Gauge Information:** To achieve the perfect fit and drape for your **Lightweight Cardigan**, ensure your gauge is accurate: **24 stitches x 28 rows** equals **4x4 inches (10x10 cm)** in stockinette stitch when using 3mm needles with a single strand.
